Our interviews with leaders of local bike advocacy groups continue this week with Eric Rogers, Executive Director of Bike Walk KC. Eric and The Bike Nerds talk about sidewalk maintenance, the origins of bike advocacy in Kansas City, the unique advocacy-led operation of the KC’s bike share system, and the evolving role of bike advocacy, community outreach, and planning in this midwestern city. Kyle brings up the barbecue rivalry between Memphis and Kansas City and Eric admits he has a podcast problem.
